Full Description

Savvy collectors seek coins that stand apart from the millions of coins on the market today. This 1970 Roosevelt Dime fills the bill as one of only a handful of coins in the series without the S Mintmark of the San Francisco Mint where it was produced. Given a rank of 54 out of the 100 Greatest U.S. Modern Coins, 2nd Edition, the coin is sealed in protective packaging and labeled with this rare distinction by coin grading service NGC. Beyond its valuable mintmark, this coin is in amazing condition, certified by NGC as Proof Quality 67. The coin has interesting frosted features as well and is further certified as an Ultra Cameo specimen. The coin, first released on what would have been Roosevelt’s 64th birthday, was intended to honor the president who had started what would become known as the March of Dimes, a charity benefitting children with infantile paralysis.

Obverse

This dime, designed by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver John R. Sinnock, featured a portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the front. Sinnock’s initials, JS, are engraved below the neck of the president. Also on the obverse are the word ‘Liberty,’ the motto ‘In God We Trust,’ and the year of issue.

Reverse

The back of the coin features a torch with an olive branch to its left and an oak branch to its right. Also on the reverse are the inscriptions ‘United States of America,’ ‘E Pluribus Unum,’ and ‘One Dime.’ If there were a mintmark on this coin, it would be to the left of the torch’s base.
